All About Fall week BRIDGEWATER CANDLES

I love to get some new candles for fall and winter. I usually go out and buy about 8 candles to last me both seasons. Sometimes it lasts, usually not. So then after Christmas I go out and buy the Christmas scents for 75% off and stock up!! Sometimes I still have some left over for the next year!! This year thanks to Bridgewater Candles I don't have to buy any for a while.

They were very generous and sent me 6 candles. 2 of each 3 scents and I'm in love. They are all great for fall/winter.

They sent me 2 Cookie Jar, 2 Frosted Berry and 2 Autumn Avenue

I like that each candle has a tag hanging from the lid and it has the scent on it. This is great for a gift because there's no guessing. A cookie jar will be a Christmas gift for my grandmother this year. She leaves for FL every year in December so she will be getting it when she visits us for Thanksgiving this year. She can take it with her to FL and remember us while burning it.

Bridgewater Candle Company offers everyday hospitality through fun, friendly, comfort fragrances. From fresh and clean to warm and cozy, these scents create those special moments in life worth savoring. Furthermore, we are committed to sharing this warmth and hospitality with the world because we believe that everyday matters to everyone.

In June 2010, Bridgewater launched our Light a Candle • Feed a Child™ campaign. Through a partnership with Rice Bowls™, Bridgewater donates a portion of each jar candle sale to different orphanages around the world. One jar feeds one child for one day. Everyday.

Bridgewater jar candles are known for their clean burn. Our natural soy blend wax is formulated for maximum fragrance, long burn times and a safe, clean burn.

I'm loving these candles so far.The cookie jar is like sugar cookies, but with some spice added and I LOVE it. The Autumn Revenue is like a crisp fall day when you walk out of your house and can actually smell the crisp freshly rained on leaves, But with added spice. Frosted berry is hard to explain, but I think it's my favorite!

They are 140-160 hour burn time. This is great for a 17.6 oz candle!! I can't wait to see if that's how long they'll really last! So far our Frosted Berry is working on about 30 hours and it's barely even touched.

They have 42 different scents to choose from :)

Price: Each candle is $20. Which I think is very generous.

Overall: ***** Love the smells, love that they give back and I love the price!!

*Disclaimer* I received these products directly from the Company for Review. I was not paid to try out these products!*

My "Snapshot of Life" has got to be Evergreen Rain. Completely brings me back to Christmas time with the family decorating the fresh cut tree. A definate close runner up - Cookie Jar! yummmm...chiqueta 13 @ hotmail dot com

I would choose autumn avenue. The pumpkin smell always reminds me of fall and holidays, halloween carving pumpkins and thanksgiving pumpking pie. We always have such a good time during the holidays to remember throughout the year.ortizvelasquez at yahoo dot com

Vanilla cream for me! It always reminds me of home and comforts me. I've tried other scents, and nothing compares for me. I think I always want my house to smell like vanilla!wilburnnewsome atyahoodotcom

I grew up in a city known for its orchards, in fact there was one less than a block from our house where the owners would give us fruit on our way home from school...Fresh Apple would take me back. (The Lilac would also remind me of the huge lilac hedge outside of my grandma's house too!)

Aren't they wonderful?! LOVE Their candles!!!!i would like the SUNSHINE one... growing up, that was my nickname... everyone said I was like a ray of sunshine when i walked in the room!thanks jumpin.beans09 at gmail.com

It would have to be Carmel apples. My grandma used to make up 50+ carmel apples to give out for Halloween. EVERYONE that knew stopped at grandma's first. My mom and her sisters have been taking over since she passed on.aimhighschool at wildblue dot net

The candle scent that is the snapshot of my life is the Autumn Avenue™ Large Jar Candle because my mother always burned pumpkin or citrus scented candles. Thanks for the contest! codisweepstakes2 (@) gmail(dot)com

Autumn Avenue would remind me of the fall I lived with my grandma. That fall we cooked and froze many sweet potatoes. We also made lots of her coconut pumpkin pies from scratch. She lived in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains so in the fall it would get cool. The air would smell of pumpkins, wood stoves, and cool mountain air. I guess that's why pumpkin candles are my favorite to burn.
